ALASKA TERRITORY.
Its Discovery and Area and Acquisition by
the Unit ed States.

Its Discovery and Area and Acquisition by
the Unit ed States.
When Secretary Seward bought
Alaska from Russia he added to the
United States a territory of much larger
area than the States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Missouri to-
gether, and nearly nine times larger
than England and Wales. The terri
tory stretches out so far to the west
ward that Sitka, its capital, is only half
way from New York City to the most
western Alaskan island. Many of the
details of the formation of Alaska read
like quotations from fairy tales. 1t has
volcano 5000 feet high. The Yukon
river is at some points from fifteen to
twenty miles wide, its entire length is
1000 miles and it empties with such
volume into the sea that the ocean is
said to be fresh water for ten miles out.
The temperature does at times fall as
low rs fifty-eight degrees below zero,
but as a rule it is mild, on account of
sort of gulf stream known as the jap
anese current 1t was Peter the Great
who set on foot the expedition which
finally discovered Alaska. 1t was in
1925 that the explorers set out to cross
Siberia, toward the cast, and one
of their leaders was Behring, u
Dane, who had been long in
the Russian service. He did, not
land in Alaska till seventeen years
later, and died on one of the islands off
the shore, which bears his name and
where his body now lies. Spain, Eng
land and France also sent out eXplor-
ing expeditions, and Russia established
u trading company, which sold the furs
of the region. But in 1867 Secretary
Seward effected a purchase of Alaska
for the United States, which paid Rus
STA $7,200,000, and little more than
two years ago it was organized as n
civil and judicial district, of which A.
p. SwinefOrd is Governor. At present
the chief industries are carried on by
the fishery and seal fur companies. In
1880 the catch of salmon was 5000
cases, in 1888, $4,000 cases, and in
1885, 5000 cases, at about S. a case.
The magnitude of the fur operations
may be seen from the fact that between
1871 and 1888 about 100000 was
paid by the company to the United
States Government as rent and tax
There are also mines of coal, lead, cop
per, silver and gold and vast growth
of fine spruce and cedar, which will
some day prove of great value to the
people of the United States. Itappears
to be clear now that Secretary Seward
acted wisely when he negotiated the
purchase from Russia.-SdB Francisco
Examiner.

Items of Information.

His Eating Age and Other Interesting
Items of Information.
At what age does an alligator begin
to eat, and what does he eat, anyhow?
| am not versed in the killing ways OF
this species of the Saurian tribe, and,
though alligators are by no means un.
common pets in the North, l never
happened to be the proud possessor Of
one until recently. This little creature
travelled in II box all the way from
Florida, and when he arrived, after his
four days journey, had apparently
given up the ghost. There he lay on
his back, eyes shut, his hands clenched,
his feet in the air-in fact, dead as Il
door nail. A Good Samaritan sug-
gested, as he was not stiff. warm
bath might revive him, and SO into
water he was tenderly dropped, with
the reflection that the taXidermiSt
would see him later. But not so! An
hour after bark no bigger than the
sound emitted by a toy dog warned me
that Master Gator was no more dead
than the family cat who sat beside the
bowl containing the unaccountable OBJ
ject and looking unutterable things.
Since then this infant has been as live
" as ten crickets. 1t is impossible to
keep track of him and the cat at the
same time, so when one is taking its
airing the other is shut in the closet.
In the meanwhile the native of Florida
refuses to partake of food, Indeed !
have not been able to see if that historic
jaw has any hinge to work it, for
though he seems to enjoy the petting
he receives, especially being rubbed on
that particularly ugly place, he won't
open his mouth. begin to think he
hasn't any; that he is a subject for the
dime museum, or will have to have an
operation performed at the MaSsachu-
sets General Hospital to enable him by
and by TO eat the noisy children in the
neighborhood. At present he measures
